Dare to be Rare! What is Student Life Team? Student Life Team (SLT) is a professional service focused on college students.

SLT centers around three main categories:

[1] Support and serve Deaf and Hard of Hearing students of all year levels at RIT. Not only that, we also support organizations such as ALANA, and clubs.

[2] Provide an environment where students can learn, grow, and understand themselves and the community.

[3] Develop partnerships, a network, and collaborations across RIT campus and with the community for the purpose of providing the best resources to our students.

Cheers to summer ☀️ good vibes, good people, and even better memories were made.



[Transcript:

I enjoyed this event because I got to socialize with people and got to enjoy some great food from the food trucks.

In the opinion, the event was great because I enjoyed the four squares and the food that was provided. It gave me a nice break from finals and was very relaxing.

I really enjoyed the event. I missed seeing people socializing and tie-dye shirts. I haven't done it in a long time. I missed it.]

[Video description: At the start, bold orange text with a white outline appears and says “SLT Bloopers 2025–2026.” After that, the video shows many clips of SLT workers laughing, making mistakes, sharing fun moments, and many other behind-the-scenes bloopers.]

It’s time for Friday Reels again!
We asked RIT students about their summer plans.



Image Description:

SLT Staff: As the summer is approaching closer and closer, I’m going to ask students what their summer plans are. For me, I’ll work on campus and travel during the weekends.

Student 1: My summer plan is working at a co-op for mechanical engineering.

Student 2: My summer plan is to stay at home, watch movies, chill, and enjoy my personal time.

Student 3: I plan to travel the world in Europe.

Student 4: My summer plans are working at a co-op at Los Alamos National Lab.

Student 5: I plan to go back home to the Philippines.

The screen transitions into a bright, beach-themed graphic with a blue sky background and simple clouds. At the bottom, there is a sandy shore and ocean water. Large, bold white text with a black outline is centered on the screen and reads: “WHAT ABOUT YOU? COMMENT DOWN BELOW!” Two large white arrows at the bottom point downward toward the sand, encouraging interaction.

Finish strong, we’re rooting for you!! 🐾🐅



Image Description:

A graphic of torn notebook paper placed on a wooden desk background. The paper has a light grid pattern and rough, ripped edges. In bold green handwritten-style text, it reads “Good luck on final exam.” In the top right corner, a red “100” mark is drawn. Below the main text, a blue checkmark box appears next to the phrase “You got this!” in a casual handwritten font.

[Video description: An Asian man walks out of a hallway and sees a person with a paper covering their face that says “Summer Break.” He runs toward them, excited. Suddenly, another person appears with a paper on their face that says “Final Exam,” grabs the man by the collar of his sweater, and drags him along the ground as he screams.]

[ID: A green, textured poster reads “HAPPY EARTH DAY!” in large bold letters at the top, decorated with a small butterfly, leafy doodles, and a hand-drawn Earth. In the foreground, three smiling students stand side by side, each holding a small plant in a biodegradable pot. One student on the left wears glasses and headphones, the center student has curly hair in a bun and glasses, and the student on the right wears a hoodie and a backpack. All three are outlined in white, standing out against the background, creating a cheerful and eco-friendly scene that highlights sustainability and community spirit.]

[The video shows a woman with long brown hair wearing a black shirt explaining information about DeafLEAD 988. There are two scenes featuring students. In the first scene, a Black woman wearing a leopard-print bandana sits looking stressed, then picks up the phone to start a conversation with 988. In the second scene, a woman with curly hair in a bun shares that she feels stressed and overwhelmed with her assignments, so she decides to use a videophone to contact DeafLEAD 988 and express her feelings. Afterward, the same woman from the beginning explains that DeafLEAD 988 is always there to provide support. At the end, multiple short clips appear, spreading positive messages before fading away.]

[ID: At the top, three students stand behind a table filled with clear plastic cups containing different liquids—some bright orange, others clear or darker. They hold small straws or sticks, carefully tasting or examining the drinks with focused and curious expressions. The setting appears to be an indoor campus space.

In the middle section, a closer view shows rows of cups arranged on a table. Some are filled with orange-colored drinks, while others are empty or contain lighter liquids. A hand is seen stirring one of the drinks with a straw, emphasizing the interactive nature of the activity.

At the bottom left, a small group of students gathers around another table. One person pours a bright orange drink into cups while others watch and chat, creating a casual and social atmosphere.

At the bottom right, two staff or organizers stand near a table with supplies, including snacks and cups. One person gestures while engaging with participants, possibly explaining the activity.

The sections are connected with torn-paper style edges, giving the collage a creative, scrapbook-like appearance.]
